Creator of theaward winning film series Life In Perpetual Beta and (in her words) hundreds of other less well known good ideas, it’s time for Melissa Pierce to join in with the increasingly popular Room 404. Which old gadgets, techs and principles would she like to see brought back into the modern world, and should anything we use today be banished to the room of things that time forgot?

This week it’s the turn of Sascha Pallenberg to be welcomed into the depths of Room 404 and try to bring back to the world the forgotten technology of the past. While Sascha today is focussed on tablets and netbooks (at www.netbooknews.com) his wish list shows him to be more of a gamer and sharer.
